How do I know if my 11 month old is allergic to cow's milk?

Share

I have slowly started introducing my 11 month old to whole milk because she is almost 12 months now. She gets 1/2 formula 1/2 whole milk in her bottles. I started about a week ago and she has taken to it fine. Just in the last two days however she has had explosive diarreha. Because of this she has developed a horrible diaper rash and refuses the bottle at times. Could she be allergic to the whole milk (even though she has been on a milk based formula for the last three months)? Or does she just have some virus going around? Despite all of this, she seems happy and normal :)
